Women lifting ....

Do you think you may have not heard her correctly. Or that she made an honest mistake. 3 kg is less than many newborns weigh.
Perhaps you should have taken it up with her at the time.
I was putting my jeans back on at the end of the session, I may have misheard, but I don't think so.
She really made a big deal about male trainers pushing women to far, miming big/burly muscly arms.
Right my male trainer pushed me way to far last night.. We did squats, walking lunges, rows/ upright rows,bi-cep curls(all with a barbell) and leg lifts for abs.. I'm so going to get big manly arms from that!
Glad the advice is working for the knee.. but for the upper body, I'd go ask someone else!0 -
That is funny... well then I best quit my job at the farm and drop the heavy weights I have been doing!! That is so silly, keep at what you are doing. If your muscles are tender after you work out, that just means that you worked them and it is perfectly normal... as long as it is muscle pain and not a strain.
Keep at what your doing... you have lost 40 kg (88 lbs) doing it, and that is awesome!!0 -

ok misread... 20 kg (44 lbs)... still very awesome!!0 -
bwahahahahahaha!
Seriously, too many doctors got their degrees from K-mart. When I got pregnant with my first child, I knew absolutely nothing about pregnancy and the internet was still a baby itself. My OB told me to stop all lifting/cardio (I was doing some pretty intense cardio and heavy lifting) and ONLY take light walks. Well, I not only ended up with a serious bout of depression, but I developed toxemia that went UNDIAGNOSED because my BP was pretty low (80/70) when I started thanks to how fit my body was and when it was slightly above "normal" I had to point out how much it had increased. Went onto bedrest, gained nearly 70lbs of water weight, developed a large diastasis (basically my ab muscles ripped in half), had an emergency c-section and almost died.
My point - interview another physiologist.0 -

Wow... that is scary. I am glad everything worked out.
I see woman at the gym pregnant all the time. I saw one and I asked her when she was due and she had said in 3 weeks. She looked awesome, she had just a belly and looked very healthy. I haven't had kids, but if ever I do, I hope I am able to still work out.0 -
lol - everyone stop what you're doing... Women are pretty little flowers that mustn't do too much lest their limbs begin to disintegrate...0

Is it ok??? I insist on it! :smokin:0 -
I saw my physio today (follow-up for my knee which I had surgery on a month ago) she asked if I was back at the gym yet.
I said I'd done a few cardio sessions and two (upper body) strength sessions, I mentioned that I'd been really sore after my first lifting session.
She said "oh that's not good, you must have been lifting very heavy. You shouldn't lift more than 3kgs, a women's frame just isn't designed for it"
I was shocked. SHOCKED.
I didn't dare tell her I'd been bench pressing 60kg.
...discuss.
3 month old baby - 6.3 kilos
Guess Dad will be doing the breastfeeding then?
Um average weight of a 3 year old boy is 14 kg

Obviously a man that takes over the cleaning, cooking, chores, etc. He's a keeper!
Can you please bring in the grocery bags? They're a bit heavy! OK...back to my push presses!0 -
Crap! This means I have to stop working out with my husband because he pushes me and "forces" me to lift heavy! Dang it all!
In all honesty I'm kind of shocked that this came from a woman, let alone a doctor.0 -
60 kilos, dont you mean 6?:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0

Did you really not just laugh in her face, explosively and unvoluntarily? You have better self control than I, if so. People. Y U SO STUPID?!0

Too funny....I feel sorry for her partner b/c he must have to do EVERYTHING for her...Crazy!!0

Oh dear, sounds like nonsense to me.
Seriously, if your physio operates from a booth at the mall, find a new one lass.0 -

3kgs is 6.6lbs.
Suggesting a women's body isn't 'designed' to carry a weight that's less than the average 6mth old is crazy talk.
I'd bet your handbag weighs more.
Heck my baby was over 8 lbs when he was born and is over 14 lbs now at 3 months! Then put him in his carrier and there is another 10 lbs! I'd be screwed if we weren't designed to carry more than 6.6 lbs!0 -
3 kg = 6.6 pounds?
Your physiotherapist is seriously misinformed.0 -

My handbag, my 3 and 5 year olds (heck, as newborns they were too heavy for my frail feminine frame), my dogs, laundry. Wait, this could be a good thing, can't do laundry anymore hubby, me's just a week little woman! He He!0 -

Now they say that, barring any medical conditions, you should keep doing what your body was used to doing before getting pregnant. I think they have you back off ab isolation exercises starting in the 2nd trimester, but don't quote me there.0 -

It's true, we can't club dinosaurs to prove our masculinity any more, this is practically us dragging the day's hunting home...0
